Chinese journalism is neither free nor too free

20130315 I want to see it, I was just studying one at that time. After working for 7 years, I feel that there are a large number of young and ambitious performers in these glamorous industries. The new editor-in-chief was under overwhelming pressure, and when he took over, he was too young to hold down the team, so he happened to encounter such a shit trap on the fan. Fake reporters in the real world can really act. After reading the law, they wrote a book called the fabulist. Newyorker's famous fact-checking system. I saw this system before when I was in school. The cost was extremely high and I was shocked. Later I saw this system in independent articles or movies. Maybe it is true. The dean at the time and my director's speech and book writing must also be called journalism professionalism. I have been working for many years now, and I am doing work that has nothing to do with journalism. I have gradually realized that if journalism wants to truly become a professional profession such as doctors, lawyers and accountants, in addition to effective peer review, first of all, there should be an internal control system similar to a fact-checking system. , To establish a sound, standardized and easy-to-verify work paper, the media must have a role similar to the quality control department and the core department. One of the reasons why many of the current self-media is very dissatisfied is that in the past, reporters put their own ideas into manuscripts and used excuses such as "a point of view", "marketers", and "professionals". Now they write from the media. The article can already use "My friend Beast Lord" and "My friend Uncle Bao" directly. In the moment when there is no media literacy in the entire society, either the author is easy to harm a specific subject intentionally or unintentionally, and the specific subject has nowhere to expand, or the author is caught after doing all the dirty things, and he is still in the image of a sad idealist, or he becomes a tragic idealist. The reporter is another proof of the prostitute. This style of writing is a cancer of serious journalism. But who cares. The new dean after graduation used to teach us often that Chinese journalism is neither free nor too free. In the past few years after graduation, I often think of the teacher's words when surfing the Internet.
